North Park University

What is the cost of studying for a year at North Park University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at North Park was $36,070, with $640 in required fees. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Published charges are the starting point for a budget, not necessarily the amount a student ultimately pays.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $36,710.
• Typical room and board charges: $12,390 for the academic year.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,000.

Together, those reported amounts equal $50,100 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs. A commuter's budget will differ from a resident's, and a more recent tuition schedule may differ from these 2024-25 figures. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,092 per credit hour; graduate pricing varies by program and enrollment pattern.

Financial aid can substantially change the price paid. For 2024-25, the reported average net price was $14,843 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less. Net price reflects costs after applicable grant and scholarship aid, but it is an average for a group, not an individual offer. North Park students may be considered for institutional scholarships, federal grants and loans, and eligible Illinois state aid through the appropriate financial aid applications. Reported data show that half of students used student loans, a reminder to separate grants that do not ordinarily require repayment from borrowed funds that do.

What are the work-study opportunities at North Park University?

Eligible North Park students may pursue part-time employment while enrolled, including jobs funded through Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: an award establishes potential eligibility for qualifying work, but it is not an automatic job assignment or money credited in full against a tuition bill.

Students should review their financial aid offer and the university's student job postings for eligibility, application steps, and available hours. Ordinary student jobs may have different funding rules. An internship can provide academic or career experience but should not be assumed to be paid or to qualify as Work-Study.

For broader career planning, reported university services include individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, and career-interest assessment. Students can use those services to explore majors and seek work, but the availability of career support is not an employment guarantee.
